I have been working with local artisans Olivia Lvt, Katelia Art and Katal, Olivia & Jean Paul Borg on completing a short film for the RIMA Film Festival for Valletta 2018 in Malta.
The title of the film is Un Goût Sucré-Salé and it is a short fictional story that examines the parallels of the Maltese immigration story of the twentieth century to the current age of foreign migration into Malta.
This film is the brainchild of Katelia. Her Maltese story is ingrained in it. I share a parallel story with my Maltese parents moving to Canada. I see it in our actor YaYa who migrated to Malta.
It was quite awhile that I filmed a short film but I enjoyed it. Planning shots, moving to great locations and dealing with unexpected situations reminded me of those mad days at film school where one was on a film set until the wee hours of the morning with the hopes of taking a vision and bringing it to life.
